Fuji at all (=_=; So, as an undercard, I was planning to take a night view of Shonan Taira before going to Fuji City But even if you go to take a picture of the night view of Atami, which is an even higher priority I realized that the road to Fuji City would not be a detour. I canceled Shonan Taira and went to Atami Someday, in Atami, red tide (noctilucent insects) will occur, and the sea will glow blue I want to take a picture The light trail that crosses the center of the bay belongs to the ferry connecting Atami and Hatsushima

Shanofu Shinshu Hand-Baked Rice Crackers Honpo On this day, Shokushinbo Kasai visited Shinshu Hand-Baked Senbei Honpo. It is a hand-baked rice cracker shop that has been open here for about 35 years.　On the day of the event, we were guided by President Hiroko Kitahara, who also bakes rice crackers. 　When I entered the store, the first thing I thought of was the variety of products. Really, there were 🍘 so many types that Kawanishi, who likes rice crackers, could get lost Among them, there were really Many types and, including stained rice crackers and rakkasen. Popularity No,1 is glue No. 2 is doubled No. 3 is apple crackers Next, Nozawana wasabi 　 Nozawana wasabi is rare, isn't it?　Nozawana is often seen in Souvenirs shops in the prefecture, but "Nozawana wasabi" is hard to find!　Apples, Nozawana, and wasabi are all Nagano specialties. Karin is a specialty of Suwa. Apricots, matcha, white sugar, brown sugar, shichimi, ichimi, miso, green onion miso, walnut miso, garlic, etc.　Even in Nagano Prefecture, there is the largest type of rice cracker. I think so. 　Kasai's recommendations are "garlic" and "twice". Garlic is a gastronomical delicacies with a slight garlic flavor. The second rice cracker has a strong flavor, so you can enjoy the mellow taste of soy sauce. After all, it is hand-baked, so the crunch is the best, and if you like hard rice crackers, this is a recommended store. 　 Among them, the most noteworthy product is "Fukutoku!!　Some of you may understand it when you hear "Fukutoku". President Kitahara's grandfather made "Fukutoku". Unlike fortune cookies, fortune cookies have good luck charms inside!!　Somehow, I wanted to revive it, and it seems that I was able to reprint it in the generation of President Kitahara. 　And after all, Shinshu hand-baked rice crackers are hand-baked & Taisha-mae!!　It is Restrooms available that it is sold by hand, but when you visit Taisha Main Shrine's Torii (shrine gate) Soba (buckwheat noodles) ⛩ Suwa Grand Shrine, Main Shrine, why don't you take a walk around the northern approach to the temple to find your favorite flavor 🍘 and Souvenirs at the Shinshu hand-baked rice cracker honpo? ◎ Shinshu hand-baked rice crackers honpo 📍 〒392-0015 201 Nakasu, Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture (Suwa Grand Shrine Kita approach to the temple) ☎0266-58-1235 Business hours : Weekdays 9:30~16:30 (Restrooms available) 　　　　 : Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays 9:00~17:00 ◎Regular holiday : Open open all year
